Yes, you will need to reapply.

Yes, as a legal or common-law spouse of an eligible member you are eligible to apply for an FCS.

You can contact your school guidance department, Connect America, Volunteer Canada or your local Foresters Branch to find out where you can contribute 40 hours between now and the next FCS application deadline.

The FCS award will end when you complete your first undergraduate degree or diploma, or after four years (whichever comes first). Graduate studies are not eligible for the FCS.
